Take it from the founder of Men's Wearhouse - $7.25 is an immoral abomination. #RaiseTheWage now.

2. What Henry Ford understood.

However, a quick online search indicates that Men's Warehouse does NOT pay all its employees $15/hour. Hypocrisy much?

3. George was booted from Men's Warehouse several years ago

So the current owners may be tight wads. Maybe not him.

5. There is no way of knowing that from the video.

4. George Zimmer was pushed out of his position at the Men's Wearhouse

by the board of directors of the company he founded. The move was largely due to his progressive business outlook. George Zimmer isn't a hypocrite; he's sticking to the greedy board members who took over his company.

I met him once when I worked there. Great guy. Absolutely great guy.

7. Thank you.

It would be nice if the video indicated that. Otherwise, it's easy to assume he's still heading the company.

9. Oh, I forgot about this

I sat next to him on a plane flight a number of years ago. Didn't say anything to him. He was busy working.

But I'm glad to hear that he is a good guy.

6. That's also what people don't get about the stimulus checks

It's not ONLY about paying the neediest. It's about putting money back into the economy, so businesses can stay open and people can stay employed.

8. My first job bagging groceries in 1990 paid $7.25/hour.

Following the cost of inflation for thirty years, that should be $18/hour now.
